  1. BADIDEAS When Hiring YOUR Next Cleaning Company Who ARE These People?? BAD IDEA #1- Insurance:Really want to roll the dice withyour company’s security? “Save” a couple of bucks and turn the keys to your kingdom/ building/ livelihood over to a company withoutsufficient general liabilityinsurance!! The party really starts when something valuable turns up broken... or missing... Don’teven get us started if you have sensitive client information that YOU are responsiblefor... But wait, there’s more!! If someone gets hurt while on YOUR property and your low rent/ clean-for-a-nickel cleaning company doesn’t have insurance, you can look forward to a NO expenses paid trip to court… so there’sthat… BAD IDEA #2- Illegal Workers:Wanna know the BEST wayto get a RIDICULOUSLY CHEAP cleaning service? Hire someone that hires illegals and pays them slave wages! Sure, your company will be contributing to vulnerable people getting taken advantage of, but you can show the boss you saved a couple of bucks AND invited a gapingliability into yourbusiness!! BAD IDEA #3- We Don’t NeedNo Stinking Badges:It’s always fun for your mostcommitted employees who show up early and stay late to haverandom- looking unidentified people wandering your facility- it tendsto keep them on their toes!! Who needs to work, when they canoccupy themselves wondering if they are going to get jacked with a sock full of nickels by that fellow in a tank top belly shirt with a vacuum workinghis way across the office... You can have this scenario play out at your facility, night after night simply by hiring cleaners with no uniforms, no badges with picture ID and ifyou’re lucky, no criminal history, which brings us nicelyto...

  2. BAD IDEA #4- Background Checks are forChumps: Sure some of those fancy high falutin’ cleaning companies are going to put on airsby performing background checks on their employees, but where’s the adventure inthat?? It’s a heck of a lot more fun to find out that cheery fellow with the garbage bags was in prison for a violent offense AFTER some terrible thing happens in your office. Sure it could have been avoided but when you need to save eight bucks- the people you give your office keys to is a great place tostart!! What if I HATEChange?? BAD IDEA #5- NO StressFree TransitionPlan: Do you LOOOOVE uncomfortable conversations with vendors who have the keys to your office and have been doing a terrible job? How about telling themto hit the bricks? What about worrying if you need to change the locks? Making switchingcleaning companies your part time job for the next couple of months? If that sounds like you, hire any cleaning company you like,BUT… If you’re one of those “weirdos” who just doesn’t want to deal with it- find a company with a Stress Free Transition Plan that includes having the conversation for you, changing the locks andlooking after all of the details, not to mention eliminating our very next badidea... Studies show that 100% of people who are unhappy and don’t make a change are still unhappy! BAD IDEA #6- 16 Page Service Agreement:You knowwhat screams “trustworthy”? Someone shoving a 16 page Contract just tosweep up at night, and telling us “it’s just boilerplate”... You’ll get to that as soon as you get through all of those Terms of Service “contracts” you’vebeen agreeing to on the interwebs... Oooorrrr… You could find a company with a Simple- ONE PAGE service agreement that you don’t have to have yourjurisprudence degree to decipher… justsayin…

  3. BAD IDEA #7- Sending Bills & Checks:Sure it’s fun to killtrees, drag ‘em out of the forest and slice em up real thin so you can spray ink on them and create paper bills & envelopes, but 1983 is going to want it’s businesspractices back. And paying Gertrudein computer ‘real important like’ fora print it later, find a stamp, haul it to folks at the government to deliver itas didn’t get cleaned because Gertrude employee wasn’t up for the task…OR from good old 2019 withautomated A/P to open said dead tree, tap on the couple of minutes, file it away so shecan the post office and trustthosefine agreed. Just your luck ifyouoffice was on vacation or saidgovernment you could just pick a cleaning company monthly billing and go on living yourlife… What if You Are a Big Fat Liar? BAD IDEA #8- No Guarantee:“We’ll do a great job… trust us…”Said every cleaning company who was just about to do a terrible job… Written guarantees are for you crazy yahoos who don’t only want theircleaning company to do what they say, AND make it right when they screwup, but to make it BETTER than right when they make a mistake for puttingyou through the wringer! Is that too much toask?? Probably… but give us a call and we’ll do just that for youanyway! Ooooorrr… Save a buck and trust the handshake, because THAT will workout...

  4. BAD IDEA #9- Their Mom says they are ok:Get a bid thatsays “References Upon Request” and move on. If you’re anything like me, getting abid that says “References Upon Request” translates into “Do my job for me chump”or “I don’t really have any references so I’m really hoping you don’t call my bluffhere…” Ok, fine, maybe they throw a couple “references on their websitelike: “XYZ cleaning wasswell - Mike atMikeCo” Those don’t sound shady atall... Do yourself a favor and treatyourself people sharing how their lives are company. Get crazy and hold out for videoswith to a company that has DOZENS of real life actually BETTER because of theircleaning first & last names- contact info, so you knowyou are getting the real deal- c’mon… you’re worthit! • BAD IDEA #10- No Checklists or Communication:If • your job description lines out 5-10 hours/ day foolin’ withthe janitorial staff, than you don’t need any of thatchecklist/ • communicationcrap! • However, if you get paid to do something a little more stimulating thanthat- • You deserve a company that uses real life bigboytechnology • (like Swept) to track: Exactly WHO is in YOUR building to \thesecond! • Checklists & Inspectionreports • Real time problemreporting • Real time Pictures of yourfacility • Customized cleaning instructions • Supplytracking • And most importantly, the ability for you and your cleaners to send love notes back and forth-you can have itall!!
